purple policy so they did an interesting technique called transcriptome

technique called transcriptome

technique called transcriptome sequencing to find out which one of

sequencing to find out which one of

sequencing to find out which one of these policies has all of these

these policies has all of these

these policies has all of these molecules and it turns out the green

molecules and it turns out the green

molecules and it turns out the green policy has much larger of all of these

you put it in when you put in hot rice

you put it in when you put in hot rice your pores open up they dissolve in the

your pores open up they dissolve in the

your pores open up they dissolve in the ghee that is present and then you get

ghee that is present and then you get

ghee that is present and then you get enough quantities of them when you eat

enough quantities of them when you eat

enough quantities of them when you eat them with the rice it gets absorbed

something about stem cells right if I go

something about stem cells right if I go now and do something else I may not get

now and do something else I may not get

now and do something else I may not get money for it so it is it ok we will do

money for it so it is it ok we will do

money for it so it is it ok we will do something with stem cells so there is a

full warm and they’re back in action

full warm and they’re back in action again now what can we do with this one

again now what can we do with this one

again now what can we do with this one can we send this moon two forms to the

can we send this moon two forms to the

can we send this moon two forms to the moon on a moon lander but we have

moon on a moon lander but we have

moon on a moon lander but we have constraints all we get this a coca-cola

constraints all we get this a coca-cola

constraints all we get this a coca-cola sized box inside which you have to send

sized box inside which you have to send

sized box inside which you have to send this moon and we have to cut them and

this moon and we have to cut them and

this moon and we have to cut them and use them so here is the device that team

use them so here is the device that team

use them so here is the device that team Indus has come up with along with us and

Indus has come up with along with us and
